“Going to a right-to-work state and starting a convention on Labor Day for the Democrats?” he said. “Wow. That’s quite the equation.”

The hotel workers’ union specifically asked the Democratic National Committee several months ago not to consider Charlotte because of its lack of union hotel rooms.

Union leaders should fear not, because during the convention Kathleen Sebelius will be riding around the arena in a golf cart and using a hot dog cannon to launch Obamacare waivers into the crowd… for anybody there who doesn’t already have one, that is. Rest assured, things will be smoothed over with the unions on day one, probably even before the first mandatory coffee break.

But maybe the fact that the DNC claims they’re shunning corporate and PAC money and opting only for grassroots donations to pay for the convention means that they simply couldn’t afford a fully unionized city. If that’s the case, welcome to the party — thankfully it’s BYOI (bring your own irony).
